Memory checker.

[Nickyct]

I just received a memory that I ordered from Jcshopper today. Now here's the question. The memory brand was Micron but I can't find any micron logo on the memory stick anywhere. The memory is P133 256meg. I know it's 256 meg but how do I know that it's P133. Is there a software out there that I can use to test it ?

Thanks

Give us the actual numbers on one of the chips.

Si Soft Sandra 2001 or Motherboard Monitor 5.03 both supply information about RAM

Ok here's the number.

The stick has 16 chips 8 on each side.
and it has a sticker that said Made by 16x8

The number you listed doesn't exist in Micron's database (the MT means it is Micron)
I think you may have misread the B as it should be an eight.
Your number MT48LC16MBA2..probably should be MT48LC16M8A2, which corresponds to:

DataSheet

Now at the end of those numbers you gave, there should be a -8,-75 or -7E
Which means:
-8E 10ns. PC100 CAS2
-75 PC133 CAS3
-7E PC133 CAS2

Edit:

I didn't even see your post as I had the window open, but you seem to have the same ram as well.

I think I got the right chip.
At the the end there's number -75 b

Thanks for your help guys.
Don't want to feel like I got ripped off here.

Gotta watch those b's and 8's as well as the i's and l's. Capital I or small l and sometimes 1 look the same on small printed items.

YES!
Here is the software proggie you need: ctSPD
It's an awesome German Program designed to test your RAM. It will tell you the Manufacturer, the CAS Latency, and what clock speed; among other things.
It works GREAT!

Try this: Direct Link

After you install it, it will ask you which language to use. I believe there are 15 or so to choose from!
